Why is it always the least musically inclined that seem to hate when people listen to music from an OST? I do believe that one needs to expand their horizons when talking about the great composers of the past, but shitting on an anime soundtrack for not being 'real music' while praising shit like Radiohead is retarded. Haruhi's ED has more harmonic and structural complexity than any song from Kid A, it's retarded to be elitist while liking music that isn't even remotely better on any measurable objective level.

Don't they know that a lot of anime OP/ED are just "real" commercial music that anime studio just buy the rights to use?

That is what I love about JPOP compared to pop music of literally any other country, even as one of those fags who listens to Classical music. There is actual shit going on that makes it interesting to listen to. You haven't experienced the entire harmonic journey of the song in the first 4 bars. It's not anything mighty complex, but it's also not braindead. It's just right

I bet you can't even appreciate this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbVHTZ6nBWk

Anyway,you sound insecure in you tastes,just like what you like and ignore the rest.

But radiohead is anime music

It's literally true, though. Hare Hare Yukai has more harmonic complexity than any song from Kid A, you can verify it if you like. This is just objective fact.

The most individual chords a single song on Kid A has is about 14, and these songs still generally take place within one diatonic key. Hare Hare Yukai has 30 individual chords and it modulates to another key for the chorus.

I specifically said "harmonic complexity" because you can objectively measure that, and in this case it is objective fact that Radiohead is musically less complex than the haruhi soundtrack

given that we're having a music thread on /a/, i'd like to take this opportunity to anounce that Natsuki Karin is THE BEST OF ALL TIME

You can't convince this guy. There's music that's mostly vibes then there's "music", which is rich and complex. If you like the first type you usually don't like the second, and vice versa.

>>280396068
sorry wrong video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8H-67ILaqc

>>280395998
There is such a thing as art being too simple to be meaningful. Ironically your own image proves that point. You can't make a meaningful painting with only 4 lines, postmodernists have tried for a century and failed to make a single work of art that captivates anyone but an extremely pretentious crowd. In the case of music, the 4 chord structure of most western popular music is restrictive and based around the capitalistic goal of capturing ones attention on the radio. It's the musical equivalent of a tiktok video, and I do not believe anyone would genuinely call a tiktok video a work of art. You might be able to get something out of the lyrics, but that is poetry, not music.

You need to have a minimum level of complexity to express any real emotion to the audience, this is not /mu/bait, this is just common sense that only pretentious postmodernists would try to argue against

Every japenese songs has the same chord progressions, tho : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_road_progression

>>280396297
Why put rich and complex music in quotations? If anything, the former should be as that is based around lyrical content rather than the music itself and if music is not the primary focus, is it really music?

>>280396411
And this chord progression is far more complex and expressive than I–V–vi–IV

>>280396418
music is a form of artistic expression and technical showboating at the expense of making a statement misses the point
it's how Jeff Beck is a "musician's musician" and Eric Clapton is a multi-platinum cultural icon

>and technical showboating at the expense of making a statement misses the point
Utilizing more than 4 chords is not "technical showboating" you braindead faggot, you have no understanding of music or art. Stop talking as if you do

Don't fall for it!
Do not succumb to the temptations of shit flinging within a music thread!

>>280395556
Harmonic complexity isn't a signifier of quality. HHY is convential Jpop doodoo

>>280396638
Somehow, the shitflinging in this thread is weebs saying that WESTERN music is better

>>280396418
Normies (at least where I live) are only interested in music they can bounce to riding in a car. I put the second type in quotations because they're not interested in listening to it. Actually, anything that has actual instruments in it is automatically too complex for their ears.

>>280394034 (OP)
I don't get this anymore because I hung around death metal cliques for too long.

>>280396678
And my argument was for it being "real music". I compared it to Radiohead which these people would call "real music". If it's above "real music" on a technical level, surely it's fair to assume that it's as much music as what they proclaim is real music?

Being a popstar is not an indicator of being a good artist, it's the opposite. You're a genuine NPC

Can you truly be considered a popstar if you don't perform on stage wearing a sequined leotard not wearing any pants?

Yes, retard.

Yeah, it feels somewhat comforting. Elitism in music is timeless. I miss my basic bitch Radiohead days.
